Market Ready India: Export opportunities
About This Webinar
Australia and India signed an Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement on 2 April, which is expected to generate opportunities for Australian exporters. In response to recent interest we’ve received from wine businesses, Wine Australia is partnering with the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) to host a three-part series of one-hour online seminars for Australian wine producers and exporters.
With a spotlight on Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore, the weekly seminars are designed to provide Australian wine exporters with a comprehensive understanding of opportunities and challenges to help determine whether India is a viable export market for their business.
The third and final session will focus on looking ahead – India and beyond, including:
• what Al ECTA means for Australian wine producers, ATMAC grants and available support
• market opportunities; and
• grants, export resources and other available support.
